Publisher's summary
Carol, Sarah, Samira and Mac were best friends at university. They were the bright young things who had the world on a string and shining futures ahead. Now, as they find themselves tipping into their 30-something lives of work, relationships and responsibilities, they meet up for a big reunion night out, ready to recapture their shared past. Because whilst things may not have worked out exactly to plan for any of them...at least they will always have the comfort of old friends whose lives are even more weird, skewed and off-centre than their own.
A razor sharp, witty character comedy with a warm heart which will appeal to anyone (female or male) who has ever had an awkward evening catching up after an age with old friends.

He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Decent enough to listen to while doing dishes
Not my favorite story. The performances were good, particularly The Waiter, and there were some funny bits. Overall, the story was pretty dry.

I had hoped this would be funnier
CATCHING UP WITH THE GIRLS: This Is Your Pilot Speaking, An Audible Original Pilot
Author: Bronagh Fegan
Type of Book: Audiobook - Unabridged
Narrators: Louise Ford, Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Carrie Quinlan, Grainne Maguire and Andy Goddard
Length: 30 minutes
Genre: Comedy
Release Date: June 11, 2015
Publisher: Audible Inc.
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐
Audible has created a few short pilot episodes of various serials and offered them up as free downloads. People are needed to vote for the best one and that one will continue to be produced.
Carol has been living in New York for the past five years. She has just moved back to England and her old friends have set up a get together at a local Wine Bar.
This meeting devolves into a
"bitch-fest". There were a couple mildly funny parts, but I actually found this audiobook more annoying than entertaining.
This "serial pilot" warns listeners at the beginning that they should "buckle up" because they are entering "the United States of Hilarity". This is flat out untrue. This was not funny in the least.
The only redeeming feature is that the full cast of narrators are all very talented. They do a very good job with poor material.
I cannot rate this audiobook any higher than 2 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐

Bitchingly Good
I really enjoyed this one. Very believable, very real comedy. Some of the outbursts/staning up for myself moments felt slightly forced (why is thos charactering snapping now, I would ask myself) but such is the limit of the 30 minute format. Definitetly want to hear more.

Good for short car trip
This is a 30min. story about old college friends who get together to visit and catch up. I'm not sure what the point of the whole story was, but I'm sure we could see ourselves in at least 1 of the characters and know people who are like the others. I like that there arr separate narrators for each of the characters and I like how there are background noises rather than just the narrator (background noise of the restaurant, music, ringing cell phone)...makes it sound like it was an actual tv show. I would listen to these funny ladies again in another story. I recommend to women who like Chick Lit. Thx!

Boring
Voice acting was passable but the writing was atrocious. This tries to be a catty girl's get together but only one is catty and the rest are border line manic depressives soccer moms trying to spice up their lives, and the catty one is just a whiny cow. The jokes fall flat, the timing is poor, and the tone meanders so much it's like the second act of a sitcom because the punchline is still coming.
Pass.

Deadly Dull
What would have made Catching Up better?
Less whining.
What was most disappointing about Bronagh Fegan’s story?
There was nothing about any of the characters that made me care at all about them. The story line was dull and predictable.
What character would you cut from Catching Up?
All of them.
Any additional comments?
I was very glad when this came to an end. It it gets beyond the pilot stage, I won't be listening to it.

Bad
There was nothing funny about this at all. Bad dialogue, dysfunctional women, no story. Truly worthless.

squawky & mean
I liked the other stories in this series but this charmless tale of horrid squawking harpies tormenting the staff of a restaurant they have no intention of dining at made me want to jam icepicks in both ears. Worst of all, Audible made it a 0.00$ "purchase" instead of giving it away & now
there is no DELETE button, THERE IS NO DELETE BUTTON!!! I just sits there in my library, with no delete or Remove button. I shouldn't be obligated for life to keep this shit in my library just because I was overoptimistic in my purchase. I want it gone! As soon as this free trial is up, I'm switching to Kindle.
